THIS year, for the first time, American
fire crackers were offered for sale. They
were made in Boston. Each ono has
pasted Oh it a warning that it should not
be held in the hand. These So called Am
Gricau crackers illustrate the propensity
of Americans to overdo everything. The
American cracker is very large and ex
plodes with terrific report. A dealer
who ordered an invoice for his store fired
off one as an experiment and broke sew
eral lights of glass in the vicinity.

the prohibition ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in each

The iron for the extension of the narrow

made for shipping it to South Haven, at
which place, wind and weather permitting IL

will be shipped TO that point eta Kalamazoo,

iron was bought in Milwaukee.
The committee appointed to ascertain the
sentiments OF the voters of the township of
Paw Paw on the prohibitory amendment has
nearly finished its canvass. SO far AZ the
committee is able 10 report, the vote stands
as follows: For the amendment, four hun,
drcd and fifty-four; against the amendmeny!
fifty-six; doubtful, seventy-two. No report
has been received from the Plopper district.
OF course, the committee has not been able
to interview every voter and the canvass is
not complete. So far as taken, it indicates
majority of from 425 TO $50 in favor of the
amendment.

In 1890, thirteen distilleries in the state
manufactured 100000 gallons OF rum:
100000 gallons were imported. Now there
1883 there were 500 taverns, all but forty of
these having open bars; now there is not a
tavern in the state with an open bar. In
1880 every grocery store sold whiskey as
freely az water; now not one. In 1882, with
a population of only 100000, there were
1000 places where intoxicating liquors were
sold. Their sales amounted TO S10,000,000
annually, or 800 for each inhabitant. Last
year the aggregate sales of 100 town agencies
was 100000, or fifteen cents per inhabitant;
on the average in the remainder of the
Union, fourteen dollars per inhnbitant.-Ex-
Governor Dinaley.
Intemperance has steadily decreased in the
state since the first enactment of the prohib-
itory law, until now il can be said With truth
that there is no equal number Of people in
the Anglo-Saxon world among whom 20
small amount Of intoxicating liquor is con-
Thousand inhabitants of Maine.-U. B. Sena-
tor Frye.
l can and do, from my own personal OBJ
servation, unhesitatingly affirm that the con-
sumption of Intoxicating liquors is not to-day
one-fourth rs great as it was twenty years
ago; that the law has itself created tenn
perance sentiment to which opposition ia
powerless.-James G. Blaine.
OF the great good produced by the prohib-
itory liquor law of Maine, no man can doubt
who has seen its results.-Ex-Vice President

In the April Harper's the departments are
unusually rich in choice reading. The
Editors Easy Chair discusses the recent
strike and its lessons, the distinction be-
tween political partnership and friendship,
pictures of ourselves and the lecture lyceum
which Beecher, Phillips, Cough and Emerson
used to adorn. The Editors Study presents
the interesting feature of great novelist
confronting the charges made against fiction
of undermining mental and moral stability.
A sweeping arraignment of novelists by a
correspondent is taken by Mr.. Howells as
the text for discourse upon the injurious
effects of many stories, and the true distinc-
ton between wholesome and pernicious fic-
ton. This department also passes judgment
upon some recent novels. The Drawer is
also we'll laden with juicy morsels, including
two illustrations by Hyde and Du Naurier.

Long before Mrs. Stowe began to arrange
or even, perhaps, to gather materials for the
work by which her name will be ever remem-
bered, Mrs. Horace Mann had written tale
of West Indian life, in which the same sub
ject, slavery, held the foremost place, as
slavery must whenever and wherever it
touches human life in fiction or history.
That book is now to be read; and the
world is entitled to know how it came to be
written and then withheld SO long.
These are the words of the authors veneer
able sister, Miss Elizabeth p Peabody, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Lothrop:
The story 10 fiction; but the principal
characters and the most important incidents
are real-it was this that made the author
keep back the book from publication till all
were dead.
1.-The last one who died was q child of five
or six at the time He did deed in his
later life that lighted up the tragedy with
moral glory that completed the book az a
work of art-the part that touches on this
was lately written.
at was the merest accident that the work
was not published before my sisters death,
as she so earnestly desired il should be, for
it delineated some Of the actual observations
she made at the awakening of her mind to-
the great subject which 30 soon shook the
whole fabric of our society, but which in
1880 was only beginning to agitate us. The
Boston mob did not take place, think, till
80 or g.
1.-The book WAS written with no moral
object in view but, as she used TO say, il
wrote itself on her soul and WAS transcribed
as a relief"
When Mrs. Mann was ready to publish,
the last of the real characters having passed
away, the manuscript could not be found. 1t
had only been mislaid, however, and after
her death 1t came to light

Death, capture, the ship. the lonely coast,
